Configuring a large scale IPv6 MBGP network
Configuration prerequisites
Before you configure the following tasks, you must configure basic IPv6 MBGP functions.
Configuring an IPv6 MBGP peer group
For easy management and configuration, you can organize some IPv6 MBGP peers that have the same
route update policy into a peer group. A policy configured for a peer group applies to all the members
in the group.
IMPORTANT:
•
To create an IPv6 MBGP peer group, you must enable an existing IPv6 unicast peer group in IPv6 MBGP
address family view.
•
Before adding an IPv6 MBGP peer to the IPv6 MBGP peer group, you must add the corresponding IPv6
BGP unicast peer to the corresponding IPv6 BGP unicast peer group.
To configure an IPv6 MBGP peer group:

Configuring IPv6 MBGP community
A peer group enables a group of peers to share the same policy, and a community enables a group of
IPv6 MBGP routers in multiple ASs to share the same policy. The community attribute is propagated
among IPv6 MBGP peers and not restricted to AS boundaries.
You can reference a routing policy to modify the community attribute for routes sent to a peer. In addition,
you can define extended community attributes as required.
